Correct me if I am wrong here, but is it me or is Superman -extremely- selfish? I think I agree with Lex's opinion about the fortress of solitude. Superman could advance humanity by thousands of years, even cure diseases but he keeps it to himself. His actions save lives but when ever it comes down to something he really wants out of a situation he throws out the more responsible choice for a outcome that HE wants. Even if Batman tells him "Bad idea. Don't do this." I could be wrong, but is it part of his character to allow his powers to get to his head sometimes and make a decision because he has the power to do it?
That makes Lex a bit of a hypocrite, doesn't it? He has the brains and technology to advance humanity and cure disease yet he uses it to advance his grudge again Superman because the Man of Steel bruised his precious ego. Maybe, we have a justification there.
The same logic can apply to Iron Man and why he doesn't mass produce his armor. Though I must concede that Tony Stark is using his repulsor technology to build cars, airships, and body armor (i.e. that forcefield vest that deflects bullets.)

Well,
Young Justice returned as part of CN's "DC Nation" block. Any impressions on the show now that it is nearing the end of the first season? I found it nicely animated and eloquently casted but only average in terms of character and story. One of the fan complaints that really irks me is how Superman treats Superboy. Most of them are ranting that Supes is acting like a deadbeat, but do they really expect him to immediately accept a clone created in a lab without his knowledge or consent? That strikes me as--to be blunt--stupid.
Part of me is irked at the noticeable lack of Firestorm in favor Captain Atom (who I never to a shine to *rimshot*) but at least ol' matchstick was front and center in BatB a couple times.
